He has committed the biggest betrayal of trust with Champat Rai. According to sources, Tinnu Yadav had come to the temple trust as a driver. During this period, his penetration gradually increased. After this he got his car put in the trust and started taking commission from those who stole donations.
Tinnu joined the temple as Champat Rai’s driver.
Investigation has revealed that Ramashankar Yadav alias Tinnu was initially associated with the temple as the driver of Champat Rai, General Secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. After this he also put his personal car on rent in the trust. In lieu of this car, he used to get regular rent from the trust every month. According to sources, after joining the temple, Tinnu’s influence and influence continued to increase. Being close to Trust General Secretary Champat Rai, his interference in the administrative work of the Trust also increased.
Tinnu Yadav used to keep the keys of donation boxes
It is being told that Tinnu Yadav used to keep the keys of various hundis (donation containers) installed in the temple premises on behalf of the trust. It has been said in the report that he was given this responsibility without any written or formal order. The inquiry committee has considered this as a serious administrative lapse because there was no formal accountability fixed for such an important responsibility.
Relatives were put on counting duty
According to the report, Tinnu Yadav recommended his relative Manish Kumar Yadav and got him put on counting duty. Because of this, Manish Kumar got the opportunity to commit theft and embezzlement. In the final conclusion, the committee says that the role of Tinnu Yadav appears to be facilitating the crime and he should also be investigated under criminal intent, conspiracy and other related sections.

The police is now also investigating what other financial sources he had apart from this income.
Tinnu’s contacts with property dealers
